Indiana went 16 for 16 at the foul line and committed only seven turnovers, but that was offset by Maryland's 18 offensive rebounds.

"We just couldn't get it done on the glass tonight," coach Archie Miler said. "We just gave them 18 second shots and that was the difference in the game."

Fernando led the charge with five offensive rebounds, some of which he turned into put-backs. He went 11 for 12 from the field to surpass his previous career best of 21 points.

"He was as good as it gets in terms of what he was being asked to do: finishing around the rim, offensive rebounding," Miller said. "He's a load."

After Morgan made the first basket after halftime to make it 37-27, the Terps used their 16-point surge to take the lead for the first time.

Cowan and Darryl Morsell each contributed five points to the surge, and Maryland applied a tight zone defense to force Indiana into nine successive missed shots.

"We really keyed in on defense. We were able to get some easy ones in transition," Cowan said.

The Terrapins never lost the lead, in part because their only turnover of the second half came with 11 seconds left. And that is how you make up for a lousy first half.

"Obviously, we had another slow start," said Cowan, who finished with a game-high seven assists. "We've got to figure that out. But we really keyed in on the game plan and started playing."

Maryland star freshman Jalen Smith went 0 for 7 during a scoreless first half and finished with 2 points on 0-for-9 shooting, but he contributed 10 rebounds.

BACK TO BACK

The victories over Nebraska and Indiana mark the first time since the 2001-02 season that Maryland defeated ranked teams in succession at home.

HURTS SO GOOD

Alabama backup quarterback Jalen Hurts watched the game with new Maryland football coach Michael Locksley.

Hurts entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week and is checking out possible destinations. Locksley was the offensive coordinator at Alabama, so player and coach know each other well.

During the first half, when Locksley was shown on the scoreboard screen, many of the students shouted in unison, "We want Jalen!"

BIG PICTURE

Indiana: Though it's not necessarily an unusual occurrence in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers are a completely different team on the road (1-4) than at home (10-0). After playing brilliantly at the outset, Indiana unraveled during a horrid second half.

Maryland: The young, inexperienced Terrapins appear to have grown up. Undaunted by an early deficit against a ranked and storied college basketball team, Maryland played lights-out over the final 19 minutes on both ends of the floor.

"We're getting better. We've really improved since Christmas," Turgeon said. "We wouldn't have won that game before Christmas. We wouldn't have figured it out."

UP NEXT

Indiana: Hosts Nebraska on Monday night, the only meeting between the schools this season.

Maryland: Faces Wisconsin at home Monday night, the first of two games between the teams in a 19-day span.
